NASA starts assessing Orion capsule for refurb
When Orion arrives, officials will begin post-flight analysis. NASA will examine the capsule and its myriad hardware components. The spacecraft has to be hardy enough to survive outer space and the scorching journey back to Earth through its atmosphere. During its return, the capsule endured temperatures of 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit as it barrelled through the atmosphere.for the upcoming Artemis II mission if they're in good condition.
Artemis I tested the flight capabilities of Orion and the SLS heavy-launch vehicle. Artemis II will be more ambitious and trickier as NASA hopes to send a crew of four astronauts inside the capsule aboard the rocket to orbit the Moon and return to Earth. Plans call for that mission to fly as soon as 2024.
Artemis III, currently on the drawing board and not scheduled, will be the mission to land the first woman and another man on the lunar surface – more than 50 years since humans took that one giant leap for mankind. ®
